Poor NRL draw ruffles Roosters' feathers

SYDNEY Roosters coach Trent Robinson is not happy with the NRL schedule saying mismanagement has harmed his side's games against rivals South Sydney.

Robinson hit out at organisers saying the rivalry and gate revenue have both been impacted by the draw.

The Roosters coach said the lead-up to the match has been over-shadowed by Origin with his side also heading into the game without Origin stars Boyd Cordner, Mitchell Pearce, Dylan Napa and Blake Ferguson.
